Ratcatcher (2006)(Matthew Hawkwood, book 1)James McGee"Ratcatcher is a richly enjoyable and impressively researched novel - also very gripping. James McGee is clearly a rising star in the historical galaxy and I look forward to Hawkwood's return."

While You Sleep (2018)Stephanie Merritt"While You Sleep makes for utterly riveting bedtime reading. Steph has taken familiar ingredients and made something fresh and frankly terrifying from them. I loved it."
